Happy father's day to this man, who brought me into this world and took care of me. Although you are gone Dad, you live and will always live on in my heart. Happy father's day to my first confidant and my tutor. Happy father's day to the first man who believed in me even when no one else believed in me. Happy father's day to the first man who made me believe I could be who and what I want to be.
I missed the times I will have to be up till late in the night waiting for you to come back from work so we can watch our favorite soap opera "The Second Chance". I remember those days, I would always wait till late in the night for you to come back from work so I can narrate to you the part you missed and how you were so inquisitive about the movie.
I was your favorite and everyone knew that and was jealous of it but that did not stop you from disciplining me when the need arises. I can't forget the day I floated your work pen and refused to tell you and you lashed me 25 strokes early in the morning for not telling you about the floated ink.
I missed the times we spent together. I missed the times you always sat me down and talked to me like a father talking to his beloved daughter. I missed your care and love. You are a rare kind. A kind that places when we want to play but when it comes to discipline, the earth trembles at your voice. I missed how we went to places together and how you never missed my valedictory services for one day until I go to my SS1 when I told you I could go alone without you and you believed in me.
Every day, I wish you were alife to see how your darling daughter has turned into a lady. I missed how you never forgot my birthday and make sure I always celebrated them. I missed how you made sure I have aa new dress for Christmas and always forgot that I am a girl and not a boy and always bought boy cloth for me. Since you left, no one could do those things you did.
I missed your encouraging words in my academic performance and how you always inspired me a lot to be at the top of the class. You always gave me a reason not to relent my effort in my academics. I can't forget in a hurry how you promised to send me out of the country to go and study after my secondary school level but you never even lived to see me finish my secondary school.
You taught me how to make a decision of my own even at my early age and gave me that confidence that in whatever decision I made for my self and my academics, you were solidly behind me. You taught me how to be an independent girl and to go for what I want at an early age. I can't thank you less for those lessons because they've helped me become a good woman today.
Happy father's day to this gone but always in my heart rare gem.
Happy Fathers day to @Uyobong Mbaba. When I lost the father figure, He was there for me, when I needed a father to confide in, he was always ready to listen to me even when I was so stubborn. Even if, most times I get silly and naughty, I can't trade you for anything. Today, I pray that you will someday, become a great father to your children.
I will also use this medium to wish all the boys in my life who will one day become a man Happy Father's day.
These two brothers of mine are the best God has given to me. Even though they are stubborn and annoying most times, they can be so funny that you don't know what to do than laugh at there naughtiness.
This is my second brother.
Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and soon to be fathers.
